Anyone have resto pics of their floor pans? Just looking to see what and how others have done. The rear pan will be easy enough but someone has patched the front in the past, not sure how much original metal I have left to work with. Thanks guys

What's everyone using for body mounts?
Here is some pictures of some floor replacement. For the body mounts, we ordered the rubber isolators, then used grade 8 hardware.
Looks like that was a lot of fun, started the body work on mine yesterday. Once I'm done with the rear floor pan I can get started on the fronts. Thanks for sharing.
Another point of reference is the M151A2 photos that I have posted in the gallery. Being that the A2 is of a unibody construction, a lot of the process is still the same. It is not that difficult. Take lots of measurements, and invest in some magnetic dial angle finders to ensure nothing gets out of whack. This will pay off in the long run.
Attachment 2268 got the rear pan out if the way and ready for a new rear floor,had to take about an 1 1/2" off the bottom wheel wells due to rot. Welded a piece of 3"x1/8" flat steel to make up the stuff I cut out and give me something to weld to. Used angld iron welded to that where my flooring will set. Can't see it in the pictures but welded in a 1x3 boxed tubing as a cross member where my body mounts are, and another at the rear. It's going to be Overkill but shouldn't have to worry about it breaking.
Attachment 2269 over kill cross members...
Attachment 2270[ATTACH definitely going to be strong enough.
Looking good. Overkill is alright. It will last a whole lot longer than the original.
Going to build the front pans using 1" boxed tubing frames and 14 or 16 gauge sheet on top. The floor of this thing should out last the rest of it.
